5.3.12 Operation
1. Switch on the SEABOB. The information display ap-
pears in the display.
Note
: After a prolonged phase of being idle, the sys-
tem will automatically start the motor initialization. The
motor will make two slow turns. The initialization takes
about 5 seconds.
2. To increase the power, tap the green button (repeat-
edly). The power display increases by one Power Level
with every tap of the green button.
3. To reduce the power, tap the red button (repeatedly).
The power display decreases by one Power Level with
every tap of the red button.
4. Push the Trigger against the Controlgrip and hold it
there. The motor starts, and the SEABOB begins mov-
ing. A minimum power of Power Level 1 is required
for starting.
5. The power can also be adjusted while operating the
craft. Operation can be interrupted by releasing the
Trigger temporarily.
Note:
If the Trigger is not activated within 10 seconds
while operation is interrupted, the current Power Level
defaults back to Power Level 1 for safety reasons.
6. To stop, hold on to both Controlgrips securely, and
release the Trigger in your right hand. The SEABOB
stops.
When the accumulator is discharged to approx. one third
of its charge state, the motor‘s electronic control system
reduces the maximum power incrementally (Power Level
5, Power Level 4 etc.). This is done to prolong accumula-
tor cell life as the voltage decreases, while ensuring that
there is sufficient reserve capacity for emergency mode.
The two red bars on the accumulator symbol indicate the
start of the emergeny reserve for the SEABOB. In emer-
gency mode, the power is gradually reduced automati-
cally until the motor comes to a complete stop. Always
take into account the limited power when timing your
return to the shore or boat.
For safety reasons, the depth limit ("diving
depth") is automatically reset to the default set-
ting of 2.5 m each time the SEABOB is switched on.
Note:
With the exception of the maximum diving depth
setting, all other settings remain permanently saved
(even after being switched off into Sleep mode / Off
mode). The settings can only be changed by first entering
the Owner PIN via the menu.
Note:
To protect untrained and inexperienced users from
the risk of collision or injury at high power, it is possi-
ble to restrict the maximum power in the menu. Conse-
quently, the operator can only switch the power up to
the maximum power which has been set. The maximum
power is factory set to the highest gear ("max. power
level" = "6").
Note:
If you do not want to limit the operating time,
leave the Timer deactivated or deactivate it after usage,
by setting back the actual timer value to "0.00 h". If the
Timer has been activated, the SEABOB switches to the
greatly reduced emergency mode immediately after the
operating time has elapsed, regardless of the remaining
accumulator charge state.
Charge the SEABOB after each use (within 24
hours) to at least the charge state "air transport /
storage" to avoid irreparable total discharge of the valu-
able Li-Ion accumulator cells.
5.4 Before starting
Switch on the SEABOB.
We recommend that you switch on the SEABOB and per-
form a brief function check before you place the craft in
the water. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Tap the blue button.
2. The display is switched on. The SEABOB logo and the
prompt "push trigger" appear.
3. Push the Trigger against the Controlgrip (within
5 seconds). The SEABOB logo disappears again.
Note:
If the Trigger is not activated within 5 seconds af-
ter tapping the blue button during activation, the display
will switch off again (device reverts to Sleep mode).
4. Release the Trigger completely. The User-PIN or Own-
er-PIN prompt will appear (if activated). If the PIN
prompt has been deactivated, the information display
will appear directly.
Note:
If you want to activate the PIN prompt when
switching on the device, or if you want to activate and
change the User-PIN, proceed as described in Chapter
5.3.11 "Settings".
Note
: After a prolonged phase of being idle, the sys-
tem will automatically start the motor initialization. The
motor will make two slow turns. The initialization takes
about 5 seconds.
5. The power is displayed as "0 %" in the power display.
Tap the green button on the right Controlgrip once.
When you tap the button, the power shown on the
display increases to Power Level 1 (15 % of engine
power).
6. Push the Trigger against the Controlgrip and hold it
there for a brief function check (less than 1 second).
The motor starts.
Never run the motor out of the water for longer
than approx. 10 seconds. The seals of the motor
and the hard-coated motor shaft are designed exclusive-
ly for use in the water. Operation out of the water can
lead to overheating due to the lack of water to cool the
device, thereby causing irreparable damage to the seals
and motor shaft. Danger of short circuit!
